Hi all
I would like your opinion on the next issue. On the Dutch forum (googletranslate <https://translate.google.com/translate?sl=nl&tl=en&u=https%3A%2F%2Fforum.openstreetmap.org%2Fviewtopic.php%3Fid%3D66660>) I started a thread about the tag leisure=garden for private front/back gardens. Reason was that I saw mappers using this for whole blocks of houses that were not publicly accessible. That usage seemed completely different from all the other leisure values <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:leisure>. In the first versions <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/index.php?title=Tag:leisure%3Dgarden&action=history> of the wiki page of leisure=garden there was no mentioning of private front/back gardens. It seems to me that OSM leisure=garden wiki changed meaning on may 3, 2010 when someone added a description of “Garden” from the Wikipedia garden description that refers to private gardens. In order to differentiate from the publicly accessible gardens (with or without fee) sometime additional tags like “access=private” and “garden:type=residential” are added. To me this seems better then no additional tags at all but in fact I think private gardens (not accessible) should not be tagged with the leisure key. On the talk page I saw that there are more objections <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Talk:Tag:leisure%3Dgarden#Deprecate_this_for_private.2C_residential_gardens.3F> to using this tag for private (non accessible) gardens. My question to you experts are: 1. Has this issue been discussed before and if so … what was the outcome? 2. If not… do you agree with me that private front/back garden should not be tagged with leisure=garden but with a non-leisure tag? (if so… any suggestions? And what about private "gardens" that are partially/completely paved?) (PS: it is not my intention to discuss the relevance of tagging private front/back gardens. I just want to know how this should be tagged in case someone wants to. ) Cheers Peter (PeeWee32)
